4-Part Dynamic Mindfulness Course For School Communities
4-Part Dynamic Mindfulness Course For School Communities
Build practical skills for stress regulation, resilience, attention, and readiness to learn with this 4-part, on-demand course for school communities.
Practical, Trauma-Informed Mindfulness Training for Educators and School Teams
Stress does not always look the same. One student may become restless and reactive. Another may shut down. Educators and school professionals navigate those differences while managing their own stress and responsibilities. Dynamic Mindfulness helps school communities develop a broader set of responses.
This 4-part, on-demand course introduces Niroga Institute’s Dynamic Mindfulness approach, combining movement, breath, attention, neuroscience, trauma-informed practice, and real-world application.
Learn at your own pace, experience the practices yourself, understand the theory behind them, and explore how to adapt what you learn for the students, colleagues, families, and communities you support.

“I tell my students I want to pass them along into 6th grade as a person who's ready to be in 6th grade, as a good community member, a good person on the inside and out, a good family member, and mindfulness has been a good teaching tool for that.”
Sam Hess, 5th grade teacher, King-Chavez Elementary School
“My favorite part about it is that it makes you very aware of how you are feeling, and it just connects me to myself, to my soul in a way, where I can fully understand what’s happening inside my body and outside my body. It’s really beautiful, actually!”
Brianna, high school student, Mission High
Four Parts. Approximately Six Hours. Learn at Your Own Pace.
Professional Learning That Fits Around Your Schedule
This Dynamic Mindfulness training for School Communities is organized into four on-demand parts, making it easier to engage with the material at a pace that works for you. Watch one section at a time. Pause to practice. Return to a concept. Revisit a movement. Take notes. Apply something before moving forward. Build your understanding over time and return to the course whenever you need a refresher.
Proven Relevant in School Settings
After surveying morethan 50 training participants from the San Lorenzo Unified School District, 98.15% said they increased their skills and knowledge, and 100% said they could take new tools from the workshop into their lives and programs.
